Achlys glanced around every corner. She was amazed to see that so many cartridge holders and hybrids slipped out of her grasp back at PISTOL. Still, her mission wasn’t focused on them anymore. She did what she could in that department.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiFMD858hC
There was only one choice left. To destroy the world.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNtxwTrQPh
If she could manage keeping her allies safe, they might be able to bring back humanity while remaining off Kronos’ radar. Still, there were no guarantees. World destruction was a tricky situation. If Abyss and the others stayed at the hotel, they might hold out long enough to move them somewhere underground.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDleOoeAlBP
Achlys shook the sentimental thoughts away. She had to focus. There was too much at risk to be distracted. She had to get Helios’ power no matter the cost.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq2epT00Yp
Achlys quickly slipped behind a dumpster and peaked around it cautiously. Was that a rosork? No, this has got to be too soon. Is this our fault?26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvcjfgHk33
That’s when it dawned on her.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT603q6p0R
They released Kronos’s army when they destroyed PISTOL. They’d unwittingly moved Kronos ages ahead in his process.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cp44fbaTn
She had to move faster if she wanted a chance to so much as stall Kronos’ plans.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvuG4H2Bk1
Project: Disaster is in full swing starting with this mission, but am I too late?26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMucrE5zTpe
Achlys felt the weight of the world on her shoulders as she carefully navigated, he way to the Palace. No more detours, no more taking your time. Get it together Achlys or Kronos will be able to drain the life of every planet in the Milky Way like chocolate cow juice. Khaos, I sound like a child.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFe5oGUxWE
Achlys was back to the hotel in 11 days. The guards, Rosork, and rampant power wielders gave Achlys more trouble than she expected. She had dragged the queen through the sewers, which proved to be a more difficult task than Achlys had hoped.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6bXDfZBq2
In Ember’s desperate attempts to escape, she released a flurry of flames. Most of Achlys’ own abilities would either blow up in her face or be negated by the flashes of light Ember’s fire triggered. This is what I get for taking a nap before mission complete.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlFDdYIwII
Achlys’ laughing gas had worn off before she woke up. That’s what a week of no sleep will do to you. Nodding off at the most inconvenient times. Achlys was lucky only a portion of her hair was singed. If it weren’t for the cuffs Achlys stole from the dungeon guards, Ember could have been finished with Achlys and made an escape.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu5Z20qFQJ
If only the queen understood that her kidnappinh and the destruction of the world was for the betterment of many.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlSYYeK2Kv

Despite Achlys’ best efforts to hurry back, she was too slow. Achlys surfaced, but she left the queen bound in the sewers.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoIrfykkEO
The hotel appeared normal at first, but once Achlys got to the suite, everything was wrecked.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4KuoeLd6r
A handful of hotel workers were cleaning the lobby when Achlys arrived. They stared at her in surprise and terror.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLAdTG7jtz
“It’s her!” One of them whispered loudly. “Do any of you have Commander H’s card?”26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xq2XIAzzW
Someone else fumbled with a slip of paper. Achlys rushed towards them and snatched the card, stuffing it into her pocket.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRflZBhliCI
“You’re lucky I don’t snap your neck. I’m not here for trouble. What happened to the others?26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3nCi1Q5tT
“P-P-PISTOL came,” the scrawny man stammered. “They said they would leave peacefully if we turned over the people renting the residential suite. We had no choice! They came with dozens of soldiers!”26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LA1oX4MXI
“Excuses from weaklings!” Achlys exclaimed.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLfbzH1tkq
Nobody was killed,” one of them spoke up in defense. “A man and his son were taken.”26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzQoxAXCck
Son? What in Kronos’ name? Achlys paused in confusion.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzifjHnoeS
...Do they mean Corder and Antonio? That might mean...26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Z1tUQc9c
Achlys turned and snapped at the other workers. “All of you, out, now!”26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFAT3NaKCH
The man she was talking to tried to hurry out, but Achlys grabbed him by his shirt collar. The man yelped.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEUdinFH7F
“Not you. I still have questions. How long ago was this?”26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJlXR30nmZ
“This morning,” he blurted out.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQTF6CfYdr
“Did PISTOL say where they were going?”26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaGCqiUgMh
“N-no, but there’s a new rebel base a little way south. I-I-I wouldn’t go there though! It’s in the middle of-of a warzone!”26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z2wvf4PmU
Achlys let out a frustrated growl and shoved the man into the elevator just before it closed.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDZEHpfMfB

“It's safe! The rest of you come out if you’re still here!”26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHC1FrVh5T
It took a moment, but slowly Lucy came out from a large bush that certainly wasn’t so full before.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMzGrBf9X0
Water flowed overhead as a pitcher emptied as if gravity reversed. A cup followed suit, and water came through the crack beneath the bathroom door. The water reformed into Vivian.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk27lJh2Gu
Achlys waited another beat which turned into 5 minutes of silence. She glared at Vivian. “Where is Abyss?” Her tone was steady and laced with poison.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKZVncJpm3
“He left days ago,” Lucy answered.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2tHg7Y3qn
“What?! Where did he go?!” Achlys stepped menacingly toward Lucy. The older girl was in a panicked outrage. He can’t be gone. Anyone but Abyss.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLN2zx3J0N
“He never said. We tried to stop him. He was in a hurry,” Vivian answered quickly to redirect Achlys’ attention from Lucy.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KAXAfXdWh
“We need to find him,” Achlys said firmly. “He’s the only thing that matters now... He’s essential to the plan!”
